Enterokinase to trypsinogen

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In the process of human digestion,hydrochloric acid $(HCl)$ acts as an activator that converts the inactive zymogen pepsinogen into its active form,pepsin. Similarly,enterokinase (also known as enteropeptidase) is an enzyme secreted by the intestinal mucosa that acts as an activator to convert the inactive zymogen trypsinogen into its active form,trypsin,in the small intestine. Therefore,the relationship is one of an activator to its respective inactive proenzyme.

Column-$I$ (Hormone)	Column-$II$ (Function)
$P$. Gastrin	$I$. Stimulates secretion of water and bicarbonate from exocrine pancreas
$Q$. Secretin	$II$. Stimulates secretion of $HCl$ and pepsinogen
$R$. $CCK$	$III$. Inhibits gastric secretion and motility
$S$. $GIP$	$IV$. Stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice

Just as hydrochloric acid $(HCl)$ is to pepsinogen,so is
